Student Jobs - Working Alongside Your Studies
As a student, you’re permitted to work for up to 20 hours per week. If you wish to work for more than 20 hours per week, you must seek permission from the Student Administration. Short phases of employment which require that you work in excess of 20 hours per week are exempt from the above rule - in such cases, you must provide a certificate from your employer.
If you have any questions or uncertainties, you are welcome to contact the Central Student Advisory Service team.
International students who are subject to special regulations can contact the Student Advisory Service for International Students.
